Local Community Sites - Can you make money on them?

I have a friend that started a website up sort of like that. Its called wenjo.com Give it a look, he even gets to go out to eat free at the restaurants just so they can get good reviews from him there. John is a great guy, you can maybe even get some hints from him if you contact him. I can tell you that he makes, a lot of cash off his website. If you do contact him, tell him Hilda sent you, he has helped me out a few times when I needed some recommendations. In fact John was the first person I ever heard say the word blog, way back 10 years ago. before blogs were the big thing he was making cash from them. Dang it, I should have listened way back then, I would be rich now. Hilda
